[Evolution] strip html tags from message

Hi,

On the OpenOffice.org mailing list I regularly receive message in html
format with tags like:

------=_NextPart_000_0005_01C247A9.E73301C0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

can openoffice run within the same computer running microsoft office
2000?

Is it possible to configure Evo so that it will display the
quoted-printable text and ignore the html rubbish?

Or perhaps a function that allows stripping the html tags from a
message? Stripping html tags from every message might not be desirable -
although I don't see why RH's under the Brim has to be in html format -
but the possibility to convert a message to plain text would be a
wonderful feature IMO.

there's another problem related to messages like this: the text is
terribly small, and if I use the View>Text size menu once nothing
happens, the second time the size increases slightly, but the third time
the size reverts to something between original and 'maximum' size...

Is this a bug in Evo? Or is this MS screwing up again? The message was
(according to the header sent with Microsoft Outlook Express
6.00.2600.0000

TIA
